He didn't REJECT the Knicks.... the Nets offered him 2 years 6.1 mill and an opportunity to start, Knicks were offering him 2 years 4.1 mil with a team option the 2nd year to be a bench player.

That's a lot for him :confused:.

All of you asking who and mocking Shawne Williams status in the league, this guy would have been a great pick-up for any team. He's versatile on defense, can play multiple positions on the court, has a sweet stroke from behind the 3 point line, and is still fairly young. The Knicks missed out big-time by not re-signing Williams. This is a big deal for the Knicks.

Yes he did reject the Knicks, they disrespected him by having him at the bottom of their list and he decided to disrespect them back and go to the Nets. Should be good off our bench, him and Morrow in the corners both shot over 40 % from deep.

It's really sad and pathetic that 2 whole pages are based off the word "rejected" to make some sort of satisfaction by him not re-signing.

He knew that's all we could offer him and that is his worth being 5 million. Nets overpaying 1 million seemed to sway his mind which seems to be weak, IMO to choose a losing team over a winning team but that's his choice and I wish him well.

So suddenly Deron will help you get you into the playoffs when he couldn't even do that with Utah last year? Even with a better player in Al Jefferson? Better coach in Jerry Sloan?

There is a reason why the Nets are doing everything they can to get Dwight before opening day. Because they know they will not be anything but a 10th or 12th place team in the standings throughout the season.

Um actually the Jazz were in the playoffs untill Sloan and Deron left, you do know he got traded in February? There is a difference from the West and the East.

LOL No. They were on the fringe of the the 8th seed. There is no difference between East and West when Deron didn't do great things with Utah BEFORE the trade.

Nobody wants to play for the NYK thats why you have to overpay, name me one player that took a paycut to sign with the knicks recently? Melo wouldnt come unless he got his extension, Amare had to get his 100 million and Chandler is getting overpaid like crazy. Even Shawne Williams wouldnt resign.

I stopped reading. You still are the troll of PSD.

1. Melo did not want to enter the lockout as a free agent. That is called logic.

2. Amare got 100 million because that's what he wanted in Phoenix and he would have gotten more if his owner wasn't cheap with the amount of years on his deal. If Phoenix committed to him long term, he would have gotten atleast 120 million.

3. Chandler got overpaid? Yet, Nene was offered 65 million by New Jersey and Gasol re-signed for 56 million. Chandler got 56 which is his worth from last season and as a defensive big. Nice try.

Shawne Williams wanted the extra million and a starting job. I guess nobody wants to play for the Lakers since Shannon Brown left for Phoenix?
